Instructions
Disconnect the pipe between the sprayer pump and pressure regulator valve with the adjustable pipe wrenches. Measure the length of the removed pipe with a folding ruler. Replace this pipe with a tee connected to a nipple at each end. The nipples need to be long enough to span the distance between the pump and regulator valve.
Cut and thread a piece of 1-inch pipe that will reach from the top of the tee to a height that is level with the top opening in the end of the spray tank. Cut the pipe and a 1-inch die for threading with either a wheel cutter or hacksaw. Screw the pipe into the tee.
Screw a 1-inch, 90-degree elbow onto the installed vertical pipe with the fitting's open end pointed toward the spray tank. Remove the plug from the end of the spray tank and install a 1-by-6-inch nipple. Screw a tank shut-off throttling valve to the exposed end of the nipple.
Install a 1-by-3-inch nipple into the open end of the throttling valve. Attach a 1-inch union to the nipple. Cut and thread a piece of 1-inch pipe long enough to connect the union to the elbow. Install this piece of pipe.
Screw a venturi injector type agitator nozzle into the top hole on the inside of the spray tank.
